Tigray Region

And like we were watching the Ethiopian genocide begin to build up.

So this was a genocide, much like Myanmar, where people went and weaponized Facebook to call for the death of an ethnic group, the Tigray.

And by the time that civil war settled down, you know, half a million people had died.

And so it's just it felt like in the moment that that happened.

And 25,000 people died and like 600,000 people became refugees.

And in Ethiopia, it's very fascinating because it's, I think, a glimmer of the future.

You had expats, so people who had, because of the junta, which was controlled disproportionately by the Tigray, it's an ethnic group within Ethiopia.

You had people who were part of the Ethiopian diaspora.

Tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea are raising concerns about renewed conflict in the Horn of Africa.

Recent fighting in Ethiopia's Tigray region, military deployments along the Eritrean border and long-standing disputes over Red Sea access have added to tensions between the two countries, but the implications could extend well beyond their shared border.

Existing conflicts and competing regional interests could draw in countries including Sudan, Egypt and Somalia, while the involvement of external powers could further complicate the security outlook.

So what is driving tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea? How likely is a direct confrontation? And what could turn a bilateral conflict into a wider regional war? To examine the possible scenarios and their implications for the Horn of Africa, here's our intelligence analyst Joshua George.

2014 to 2018 there were a series of protests after the government attempted to extend the capital

Addis Ababa's

boundaries into surrounding towns and farmland sparking a Romo protest which were later joined by residents in Amhara forcing the prime minister out Abi Ahmed the current prime minister replaced him in April 2018 he then merged the ruling coalition into the prosperity party which the Tigrayan regional movement refused, seeing it as a centralisation of power.

Addis Ababa then postponed the 2020 elections, citing COVID.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Church said at least 60 people were killed in two separate attacks in Ethiopia's conflict-hit Oromia region in the past week.

The Oromia regional government and a source linked to the rebel alliance fighting government forces in the northern Tigray region traded blame for the attacks.

The Oromo Liberation Army is one of seven armed groups that announced last month that they had formed an alliance aimed at overthrowing Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government.
